It's a Girl!



We had our 18 week ultrasound on May 15th. Andrew and I were happy to hear that everything looked healthy and that our baby was progressing nicely; selfishly, however, we really wanted to know if we'd be shopping for pink or blue. After what seemed an eternity of looking at parts I couldn't recognize (they put the TV across the room and with poor vision, lying at an angle, it's hard to decipher what is what), I couldn't wait any longer. When the technician pointed out the legs I had to say, "Oh, how great...now what do you see between those legs?" Without even a chuckle, she breezed pass my comment. Finally after much anticipation she asked if we'd like to know what we're having. Duh! Did my previous question not clue her in? Moving the cursor, she showed us the "hamburger," as people call it, and told us we were having a girl! Because everyone, including myself, had been convinced it was a boy, I asked if she was sure. Her response, "Well, there's no penis." I guess that's pretty good evidence.

So our plans for blues have now changed into pinks. We've had a blast registering for all things girl and I've already begun praying for the teenage years. I'm super excited and terrified at the same time; Andrew, on the other hand, will be an excellent daddy to a little girl. She's not even out of the womb and she already has him wrapped around her finger. Needless to say, the excitement and anticipation for her arrival has heightened. We cannot wait to meet our daughter!

Hey y'all...It's Andrew. Wanted to let you know this will be the official site of all things AndrewRissa related. Larissa will be doing the posts from here on out, but I thought I might put our first ultrasound up here as a start.



More to come as I teach Larissa how to do this.
